It's important to understand your pension is an investment so its value can go down as well as up and you may get back less than was paid in.
Laws and tax rules may change in the future. Your own circumstances and where you live in the UK also have an impact on tax treatment.
Pay more, get more?
Normally for every £1 paid into your pension plan, at least 20p of it is made up of tax benefits. This happens automatically. Your employer may even pay in more too.
Increasing contributions
If you want to, you can increase your contributions through MyPension .
It's a good idea to review your plan regularly, to make sure you're saving the right amount for you.
